HAPP EASTER! (since I missed saying that here yesterday)
I had a busy week! Every day of the Triduum I had to read at the Mass. Including the Easter vigil on Holy Saturday evening. This was the first tim I was to a Easter Vigil Mass, it was beautiful but loooong!
what made it long was the candlelight ceremony and the Comfirmations and Baptisms of People who came into the Catholic Church after taking RCIA classes
RCIA = Rite of Christian Iniation for Adults
l have to explian this Mass to you all in another post.
I didn't get home until about 10:00 PM. But I still got up in time for the 7:00am Easter Sunday Mass.
I went with my mom and my sister and her husband and daughter, as well as a couple who are friends of my mom and dad, to a new Bon Evans restaurant that just opened up here in Glen Burnie a week ago. The food was Great!
Thw weather wasn't so grate, we had rain and it was cooooolllllddddd!!!!!
I had Easter dinner at my parents' house with my youngest sister and her husband and daughter; my other niece (My other sister's daughter) and her boyfriend, who is on medical leave from the Army. He was in Saudi Arabia but was sent back to the State because of an appendicitis attack.
He's doing well now, but he might be shipped out again to the UAE or possibly Iraq. please keep him in your prayers. Also, there was some good news His brother's wife gave birth to a healthy boy Sunda afternoon, about 12:30.noon
This is his first nephew.
My brother was also there with his wife and two younger children. his oldest son, Brian who is now in Korea, is engaged to a servicewoman and they are expecting a child. Mo mom and dad are going to be great-grand parents!
But I resisted the urge to call my brother (who is ONLY in his early 40's) "Grampa Dave" HEE!HEE!
Please keep my nephew and his fiance both in your prayers as they are still in Korea.
Even though they are coming home on leave in May. They'll be going back later on this year. They are trying to get transfered back to the States to raise thier child in the US even though he/she will be born in Korea but since it will be on a US Army base he/she will have automatic US citizenship. BTW, my future niece-in-law is an American, she is from California.She's just stationed in Korea.
My sister who had the surgery a few weeks back is doing just fine, she is getting stronger. but now my youngest sister has the same problem and is scheduled to have the same type of operation as my other sister. only she is worse, but everyone including her doctor says she'll be fine but still keep her in your prayers. Her name is Teresa.
I know I'm a bit long-winded but I had so much to tell you and I know I must've left a lot out.
Hope everyone here had a wonderful and blessed Easter!
God bless You all!
